ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF OURSI - OURSI HU-BEERO
A museum recounting the detailed history of trade in the region through photos accompanied by well-documented texts.
Built according to the Nubian vault technique (earthenware), this museum presents a very interesting and well staged exhibition, with sand dunes on the ground. Photos accompanied by well-documented texts present the history of trade in the region (salt, gold and slaves) and give detailed explanations of the excavations at the Oursi site, carried out by German archaeologists and their Burkinabe team. They will discover underground dwellings, ceramics, spearheads, jewellery, skeletons... and chains of slaves. Since 2010, few (if any) tourists, but Aly and Mero are still loyal to the post to give you a warm welcome.
